Our verdict on each
Hubble Connected
Hubble Connected suits UK parents who want a smart WiFi baby monitor with a parent unit and sleep analytics without paying a subscription, and its plan month of £0 keeps the running cost low. Entry hardware starts at £24.99, and the catch is that an account and WiFi are required.
iBaby
iBaby suits parents who want a monitor with sleep analytics and local storage but no parent unit, and its monthly plan runs at $0 while hardware starts at $65.95. Hubble Connected and Chillax Technology undercut the hardware price while Arenti sits above it, so iBaby is a mid-range buy with no monthly charge.

Pros and cons
Hubble Connected
Pros
- Entry hardware of £24.99 ranks near the top of the brands compared on price from, at 2 of 25.
- The plan month of £0 means the app features carry no ongoing fee.
- A smart monitor with 1080p video, a parent unit and a GB market makes it a complete kit rather than a camera alone.
Cons
- An account is required to use the monitor, so setup adds a step before the first feed.
- Support runs on email and help centre, with live chat and a phone line not among them.
- Wifi is required, so the picture depends on a home connection rather than a direct link between the camera and the parent unit.
iBaby
Pros
- The monthly plan cost is $0, so the plan adds no recurring charge on top of the hardware.
- Sleep analytics and local storage are both included, which is rare among the brands priced alongside it.
- Video encryption is on the unit, and the camera runs at 1080p.
Cons
- The parent unit answer is no, so viewing depends on your own screen rather than a bundled handset.
- Wifi is required, so the room needs a home network that reaches the camera.
- An account is required before the monitor can be used, adding a step before first use.

Questions about each
Hubble Connected
What does a Hubble Connected baby monitor cost to buy?+
Hardware starts at £24.99 across the product range, which is the one-off entry cost for the monitor itself. That is the figure to weigh at purchase, since nothing else is added to it later. The alternative entry prices are €34.99 for Chillax Technology, $65.95 for iBaby and $100 for Arenti.
Is there a monthly subscription for the Hubble Connected app?+
The plan month is £0, so the app carries no monthly charge. Sleep analytics and the recorded video features are therefore part of what you get after buying the hardware, not a paid add-on. On our plan month measure Hubble Connected ranks 1 of 23 brands compared, so the free plan is one of the stronger ones in the group.
iBaby
Is there a monthly subscription with iBaby?+
The plan month cost is $0, so there is no recurring fee on top of the hardware. The only entry cost is the device itself, which starts at $65.95. That is the main reason iBaby scores well on cost, with the cost part of the overall score at 9.5.
Does iBaby come with a parent unit to watch the screen?+
The parent unit answer is no, so iBaby does not bundle a dedicated handset with the camera. Viewing runs through your own device over the home network, and because wifi is required you need a working connection where the monitor sits. Home screens and tablets do the job, but the box itself is not a screen.
